Hey Bh. Missed ya belly!
You raise a good point. Alot of t.v programmes and films show characters drinking heavily, often with bottle in hand, yet they are fine, dandy and raring to go next day, happy as larry. Very glorified and its no wonder there are so many of us. Used to do it with smoking, but they stopped all that and i think they should do the same with heavy boozing.

I am good thanks all!
Looking forward to Xmas. Put the tree up yesterday. It looks great. I did it in red and gold. Xmas here is exactly the same as IRL/UK except its hot and we always have a swim in the sea on Xmas day. My eldest son is off the drink for xmas too (not before time too and after an embarrasing incident at his partners xmas party) so looks like a AL free xmas for this family which is the best Xmas pressie I could ever get.

Hey Cym
Yes it was completely over the top AL wise. Totally romanticised. From the very beginning of the movie he was knocking the hard stuff back. It was so unnecessary as it doesnt add anything to the storyline.

Alcohol extremely glamorised in the Western World ay - what a bloody farce, even for non-alkies. The hangover exists for ALL excess drinkers - whether alkie or not...It's a FU**ING toxin and paint lifter, for shite's sake!

BH - Great news re your son, that is a true Christmas gift for you and yours. Am really happy for ya

Sorry got booted off there!
Wonder was it because I said shite? oh shite I said it again. Nah just kidding it was my connection.
Hi Wishy and LTG - would love a proper cold xmas - just for the day though. Real snow at xmas would be sooo cool. I just love xmas - its so much fun and all about the kids and families getting together. I love buying presents for people. Not real expensive ones just little things.
Hey Starts how is the training going or is the weather preventing it. Its pissing rain here today so I might have to skip my run and go for a swim or something instead.
Btw starting you know today is the 9th of December here! Ring any bells?
